Macau was the last remaining European colony in China when the Portuguese transferred back its Sovereignty in December 1999. The government in Macau is now headed by a chief executive, who is appointed by China's central government. In June 2009 Fernando Chui Sai On declared himself the sole candidate for Macau's chief executive election. António Júlio Duarte followed the last two weeks of the election campaign. He documented a candidate who has no competitors, who does not need to convince, who is not elected by the people. The Candidate is a photojournalism project in which the images lose their topical value, they become generic. They are about an electoral campaign and a candidate. They are staging the process of legitimising power.(source: https://ghost.pt/The-Candidate-1)
